Your cross section rendering is outstanding! <br /> <br />Two materials come to mind, both available in 8' lengths, neither of which would require heat forming. Check out thin plastic laminate, usually used for vertical surfaces, though the 2" radius may well be challenging. Use the back side which has a texture which will accept latex paint. A better choice might be 4 or 5 mil matte surface mylar, available at any drafting or reprographic supply house...it may be available in even thicker. <br /> <br />Good luck, <br /> <br />
